The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Chapter 15 Promotion

Cao Bin's face turned cold: "Who is it?"

One of his eunuchs had already rushed forward and brought the person over.

Green oil-paper umbrella and coarse cloth palace skirt.

The visitor was of slender stature, holding a worn bamboo lantern with a dim light.

Walking lightly in the rain.

She bowed and replied in a low voice, "Hello, Eunuch Cao. I am from the Smoke and Cloud Palace. The young lady I serve is ill. I am going to fetch the physician."

Yanyun Palace is a cold palace.

It is also on the west side of the palace, about a quarter of an hour away.

The people living there were all deposed concubines and criminals.

Cao Bin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. Don't tell anyone that you saw us here, otherwise, you might be the next one to get sick."

When palace ladies fell ill, they had to be moved to a special nursing home for recuperation.

Those who are well-known and influential will have someone to take care of them, but ordinary people have to rely on themselves. If they can't bear it and die, they will be dragged out and burned and buried.

The palace maids in the cold palace have a low status, and entering a nursing home is most likely a dead end.

Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately bowed: "I understand!"

"Still not leaving?"

Seeing her hesitation, Cao Bin's tone became even worse.

The other party hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"I dare to ask you to send someone to go with me, otherwise I am afraid that the doctor will not come because it is dark and rainy."

Cao Bin disagreed.

He doesn't have many people to help him now, so how can he spare one to hire a medical officer for the deposed concubine?

The other party begged again and again.

The sound of rain gradually faded.

No matter how low the palace maid's voice was, it was still so quiet that it was heard by people in the room.

The emperor finished his work and took a rest. He asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Cao Bin quickly replied, "It was a palace maid passing by, and I was reprimanding her."

At the same time, he whispered to the palace maid and told her to leave quickly.

Xiao Yu didn't want to pay any attention to it.

Fei Wan spoke.

"Your Majesty, this sounds like an urgent medical matter. Could you please... ask her to come in and ask?"

She asked carefully, as if she knew she shouldn't ask and was very nervous.

When Xiao Yu looked at her, she lowered her head and explained softly.

"Your Majesty, I once fell ill with a fever. I had no place to find a doctor at night and it was very difficult to endure. So, I was thinking, could you help her..."

"You have a good heart. Don't be afraid. I will obey you."

Xiao Yu felt more and more pity for Fei Wan as she looked at her expression of wanting to help others but being afraid of overstepping her bounds.

He then asked Cao Bin to bring the palace maid in to answer the question.

Fei Wanchushui put on her clothes.

After the emperor was dressed, Cao Bin led his men into the house.

The palace maids bowed down.

The figure is slender, like a weeping willow by the lake.

"Your servant, Zhishu, is the handmaiden of Madam Lu from the Smoke and Cloud Palace. I was looking for a physician for her and did not wish to disturb the emperor. I beg your Majesty to forgive me."

Her voice was as clear as a cold mountain spring, and it sounded particularly pleasant on the humid and stuffy summer night.

Xiao Yuben was admiring the graceful way Feiwan tied her hair.

Hearing the voice, he couldn't help but look at her again.

Zhishu looked up respectfully, but the moment she met the emperor's gaze, she quickly lowered her eyes.

The long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the eye sockets, which is quite beautiful.

Xiao Yu took a look.

But it is limited to two eyes.

Then he turned back to look at Fei Wan's hairpin.

Cao Bin had already prepared a new palace skirt, which was more fitted than Fei Wan's previous one, showing off her beautiful curves.

As she raised her hands to comb her hair, her figure became more prominent.

Xiao Yu's gaze lingered.

No time to care about others.

Fei Wan asked a few more questions while tying her hair, and found out that the young lady in the cold palace had a headache and was in unbearable pain.

"Your Majesty, I have seen people suffering from headaches. They are in great pain. Could you please have the doctor examine that young lady quickly?"

Fei Wan begged for help.

"Are you hurt? You're worrying about others first."

Previously, Xiao Yu only knew that Fei Wan was humble and gentle, and sensible to the point of being heartbreaking. Now, seeing her helping others in need, he couldn't help but feel a little more pity for her.

It doesn’t matter whether Madam Lu has a headache or not. She can just find someone to treat it.

He couldn't even remember who Madam Lu was.

But Fei Wan’s injury can’t be delayed any longer.

Xiao Yu immediately ordered someone to call a medical officer, his tone somewhat hurried.

Fei Wan secretly wondered why you were so anxious.

If you really care about her injury, why wait until the whole thing is over before taking action?

But no matter how important her pain is, it is not as important as his needs!

She knew very well that the emperor's favor for a woman was, in the final analysis, favor for himself.

She wouldn't take it seriously.

"I thank your Majesty for your grace."

On the surface, she was grateful.

She looked at the emperor with eyes full of shy admiration and dependence.

Xiao Yu benefited from it.

Smiling faintly: "You still call yourself a slave?"

"Cao Bin, after daybreak, inform the six palaces to appoint Chunxi Palace maid Fei Wan as a regular sixth-rank attendant and grant her a title..."

"His Majesty!"

Fei Wan leaned over and knelt.

Xiao Yu was displeased: "Why, are you going to disobey the order again?"

"The slaves dare not!"

Fei Wan took a deep breath and spoke fearfully, "Your Majesty, I understand your grace towards me and I dare not refuse. However, I am humble and the title I have been granted is enough. I cannot bear the title!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the palace maid Zhishu who was not far away.

I caught a glimpse of a circle of cherry blossoms embroidered with light-colored silk thread on the edge of her coarse palace skirt.

Elegant and moving.

This title "Ying" should have belonged to Zhishu.

The one who is favored in the Buddhist temple tonight is also Zhishu.

In her previous life, Fei Wan knew that Zhishu had risen from a humble status as a maid in the cold palace to a high position, rising step by step, and finally sitting in the seat of the mistress of a palace.

Grace begins tonight.

But in this life, she blocked Zhishu's way.

Zhishu is not a bad person.

At least he never treated her badly.

She was later framed by Yu Tingjin and sent to the cold palace in the cold winter.

They didn't freeze to death or starve to death immediately because Zhishu was thinking about her old acquaintances from her hometown, and she usually took care of the food, clothing and other expenses of everyone in the cold palace, and she also benefited from it.

She had almost no interaction with Zhishu in her previous life.

Indirectly received someone's favor.

At the very beginning of this life, I snatched away other people's opportunities.

Naturally I feel guilty.

Deliberately asking Zhishu to come in and meet the emperor was also to give her a chance.

But it was obvious that the emperor was more attracted to her.

Zhishu has no chance tonight.

It is impossible for Fei Wan to steal someone else's title again.

Besides, she wants her own title in the future!

The former seventh-rank lady became a sixth-rank maid because of some water play and more serious injuries.

There is a sixth rank in between, which is considered a two-level promotion.

Fei Wan was satisfied.
